If you take that to a show it will drive some people nuts!

Always fun to watch! >:D

Kerick has it right.
Creative super build :)

Without specific markings I could see hundreds of JMN's & Rivet Counters scouring the interwebnet trying to find which small nation did this to its M41's.

This looks awesome - I can see some Army General complaining that this tank is far too awesome for the USMC...

The 105mm is nice. Where did you get it?

In some ways, the tank looks like a "super deformed" M1.

Thank you all for the compliments, I think it turned out really well. 

Frank3k - the main gun is scratch made from brass tubing and CA glue.  I tried some soldering, but I still haven't gotten the hang of that just yet.

Looks great! I feel like the turret side needs something, maybe like the black star sometimes found on tanks in the MERDC camo period.



Cheers,

Logan
